Development Plans

Autumn, 1996

Some important steps have been taken regarding the development plans announced in Issue 3 of Sphæra. At a meeting of the Planning Committee of Oxford City Council in May, members decided that they were minded to approve the applications for planning permission and listed building consent, subject to detailed conditions. This cleared the way for an application for support from the Heritage Lottery Fund, which has been submitted in the current round of major museum projects. The estimated total cost of the project is £1,035,322 of which £150,000 has already been committed by the University.
